June 19th was occupied in sharpshooting, but that night the brigade built a strong line of earth Works running from just in front of the Hare House to the right through the open field, over which the brigade undertook to advance on the 18th. On the night of the 20th the brigade was relieved by some troops of the 9th corps, after which we went to the rear and a little further to the left distance of about two miles, and bivouacked for the night.
